Zanzibar terror warning!
Africa as base for terrorists?
Terror-Warnung für Sansibar!
Afrika als Terroristen-Basis?
 


Zanzibar is a unique coral island lying in the Indian Ocean a short distance from Tanzania. With Pemba, and about 50 other islands, Zanzibar originally was an independent country until 1964 when it was united with Tanganyika to form Tanzania under President Julius Nyerere. Presently it has its own President and a degree of autonomy.
 

Nach Angaben des US-Aussenministeriums und des deutschen Auswärtigen Amtes gibt es Hinweise auf die Möglichkeit terroristischer Anschläge, die touristische Einrichtungen und Vergnügungsstätten in Dar es Salam oder auf Sansibar oder Pemba zum Ziel haben könnten.



The United States has issued a warning about a possible attack against visitors to the Tanzanian island of Zanzibar. The State Department in Washington said it had received information that a terrorist group may be planning an attack on an unspecified location frequented by Westerners. It said the targets might include restaurants, night clubs or hotels in Zanzibar.
